Your support has made a significant difference in our classroom by providing a valuable tool that enhances our students' learning experiences. These earbuds are helping create a focused, personalized learning environment that allows our students to thrive academically.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, technology plays a pivotal role in literacy development. Tools like Read Naturally Live (RNL) and Lexia engage students through interactive lessons tailored to their unique skill levels. The earbuds you've provided allow students to immerse themselves in these lessons without outside distractions. For instance, during independent reading, students can listen to guided instructions and interactive reading materials, improving their fluency and comprehension. Additionally, the earbuds are critical during Lexia's phonics and vocabulary exercises, where students can hear pronunciation guides and participate in activities that build their language skills. These moments of individualized audio support ensure that each child receives the focused instruction they need to grow.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our students most about the earbuds is the sense of independence and control they offer over their learning experience. Students love being able to tune in to their lessons without interruption, making their progress feel more personal and meaningful. This has been particularly impactful for students who struggle with focus or are easily distracted by classroom noise. The earbuds have created a sense of calm and concentration that many of them cherish.\r\n\r\nOne student, in particular, stands out as a success story. She initially found it challenging to keep up with her peers in comprehension activities. However, since using the earbuds, she has been able to focus more deeply on her lessons, and her confidence has soared. Hearing immediate feedback through her earbuds has helped her identify and correct errors in real-time, making her progress tangible and empowering her to take pride in her achievements.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and helping to create a classroom where every child has the opportunity to succeed. Your kindness and generosity have inspired us all.","fullyFundedDate":1726510048226,"projectUrl":"project/sound-success-earbuds-for-focused-lea/8715753/","projectTitle":"\"Sound Success: Earbuds for Focused Learning\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ericka Ashley Bennett Bell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7274012"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6332","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":318,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":92,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"15.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":57.4,"schoolId":6332,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Main Street Elementary School of Arts & Leadership on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Main Street Elementary School of Arts & Leadership","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/florence-school-district-3/main-street-elementary-school/6332"}
